Description soee 2016-09-14 12:22:51 UTC

I have some apps like Steam or single games windows set to disable compositor when they run. This works pretty good. The only small issue is that when i close such app, compositor is restored but panel shadow is missing. To bring it back i have to toggle desktop effects ALT + SHIFT + F12.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure some app to disable compositor when running.
2. Run app
3. Close app

Actual Results:  
Panel shadow is missing after compositor was restored.

Expected Results:  
Panel shadow should be rendered after compositor ws enabled again.

I have the same issue and use the same workaround. Also running KDE Neon Dev. Stable, Plasma 5.8.1.

There's been a few commits since 5.8. 

Please reopen if you still have this on 5.10 or newer.
